#i don't use my laptop that much anymore and i don't plan to download the tmblr app

[fantasticalleigh]

i want to keep sharing art online but honestly i'm so fucking tired and done with all social media lately. instagram fucks with your reach so that no one sees your posts and lord help you if you stop posting regularly as in 3-5 times a week. oh and if you don't post reels then fuck you too. tumblr is good for sharing art if you're already a popular artist but people don't really reblog art unless it's either as mentioned before by a prominent artist or a very popular old post. i refuse to use twitter. and glazing or nightshading all my work is kind of tiring even if it is necessary but the process is kind of dumb (i gotta be honest sorry i know how important that group's work is but literally go look at their site and those poor folk are so overrun they're begging people to stop asking for glaze invites. and i tried downloading nightshade onto my laptop but it wouldn't run bc of some hardware specs so don't tell me to try downloading it bc i already did.)

deviant art is fully in bed with AI now and doubled their membership prices bc woweee it gives you access to an AI generator now and you get 500 whole prompts a month! ain't that the bee's knees!?

and everywhere in general is tightening the noose more and more on NSFW artists. within a span of two months i got email after email from certain sites that were suddenly updating their TOS or raising their subscription prices. mercari absolutely took a fat steaming shit on their seller base this year and only reverted some of their bs bc their revenue/stock fucking TANKED. peacock and clip studio and bigcartel and spotify and everyone's mom is raising their prices as if we're all fucking made of money. i had to put my online shop on pause and cancelled my existing plan because i can't afford to be paying so much each month across all these subscriptions. (the shop will still exist i'm just no longer able to keep more than 5 items in inventory and i can't do discount codes anymore.)

i'm not seeking advice or anything just venting. if this sounds bitter, take it at face value bc i am. and i do keep saying this and i'm sorry for sounding so angry and repeating myself but i'm so goddamned tired. it doesn't feel worth it to be an artist anymore.

How do you juggle real life, drawing, AND writing?

Truly one hour, one day at a time.

One big help was downloading the google docs app on my phone. I like to write on my breaks at work, while waiting in lines, riding in the car (NOT while driving obviously), etc.. Those in-between spaces when you might otherwise be scrolling social media or something instead. Say I'm too tired to get up and get my laptop? Easy, I have my writing tool in my pocket at all times, when I get bored of scrolling or have a fresh idea, I can just get it down. I also like to write right before going to sleep as well. Like after we've laid down, Marshall's already snoring, I'll just hammer out a few lines to help me unwind, until I can't hold my eyes open anymore.

As for drawing, I really have to be inspired for that, or in a bit of writing block. So I typically only draw much on my weekends. Usually for like 3 hour blocks or so, breaks in between. I almost always draw during my husband's podcast recordings, which is 2ish hours on Friday nights. If I don't feel like writing or drawing, I'll typically pick up some needles or a hook and hammer out my feelings that way.

And real life/everything else? That's your recharge period. Last night we went to a friend's place for dinner after work. Typically we get caught up on chores on the one day a week we are both off, and we just chip away at stuff for a few hours in the morning before going about the rest of our activities. The exceptions are things like dishes and cooking, which we split. Living full time with your partner and closest confidant helps. I was far less balanced when it was just me (and so was Marshall, so it helps us both).

I definitely don't have it all figured out. I haven't seen a single movie since October. If a TV series isn't weekly release forget it. I don't really stay up to date on media much. I barely read. But I do get out to see friends, go to concerts, go biking and birding, so all that is good for my physical needs. We just plan all those things generally well in advance, but that's like, what late 20's early 30's looks like anyways. Most of my friends are scattered across different states, some have kids, we all have different work schedules, and so on.

Thanks for the ask!

I haven’t been watching anything kdrama related recently until i accidentally started watching moon embracing the sun (basically my mother wanted a new drama to watch, i found mets on netflix, i was in the same room, and i got hooked...)... I loved the part with the younger cast, the older cast not so much, but now I’m invested and I need to see how the big reveal is going to be done and how they are going to wrap things up

- the charm we deserve -

I am curious: do you people realise that our lives has gone too much into the comfort that it just takes away all the charm of the daily lives?

For example, what was the last time for you when you didn't download the book from the Internet but when you went specifically to the library, sit down there for couple of hours to read the book and spent not few minutes to find this specific book? Me? I don't remember such time in my life at all. Like, I would I do so - I have the Internet. And here is the problem! Not much charm left! Many stuff became too easy for us. Don't blame me please, I am the kid of the new century, the Internet flows in my blood, I wake and fell asleep with my phone, many gadgets and tech-items make my life easier, and there so many advantages of this. But I think I missing some charm.

Just imagine one of the Jessica's day from XIX century (it's all random, do not look for the coincidences). To read something, Jessica plans the visit to the library. First of all, she wakes up and smiles to the sun (and not checking her phone, like me :/), then her chambermaid gives her some breakfast. Later on, Jessica wears her green dress with the hat and goes to the city centre to visit the library. Once she is there, she becomes a book-hunter and starts looking for the needed paper "prey". And she breathes this specific book smell which is everywhere in the library. And the booking hall is dark, with many tables and lighters on it for so that visitors could comfortably seat and enjoy their preys. "Ohh here you are", - Jessica is so glad: finally she caught what she wanted. Then she stays for couple of hours at the library, and reads, reads, reads until her eyes can't recognize the letters anymore, and pages becomes like a music notebook with many many black stripes. Good job done, hunter! Next time she will come back here on Friday to be able to continue the book from the page 236, on which she stopped. Library becomes her second house so here is good to say that a person will never become a homeless, if she/he likes reading books. Lol. I wish it works - then the problem with homeless people could be solved "easily peasily lemon squeezily".

And now imagine one of my days when I want to read something. I go to the Internet ("go" - it is so loud word), a few clicks - I have my "prey" on the e-book now, I read a bit and I may read it later, or tomorrow, or at nigh: I do not care.

Sure, my day is better, if you are the long-story hater, since I dedicated just a few lines to describe it. But people from the past had so many adventures and charm in their daily lives, even in such thing as planning to read a book for what they needed to go to the library. Some of them even could miss the lunch and prefer the "paper" long food instead: "Today the patron gave him time off, explains Samouk, and he just came to the book collection from work. He will not go to dinner until they close", - Jean-Paul Sartre from "Nausea".

And what about me? I eat some vegan tuna sandwich, periodically replacing the food with some matcha tea, meanwhile reading Jean-Paul Sartre and wondering: damn, I could stay at home the whole day, and I am able to "visit library", "go to the cinema" on my laptop, "travel" by watching some bloggers (well, I know it is funny comparison but be so kind to let me have it), and I don't need to write the big letters on 4 pages to my loved ones -> I have many messengers installed on my phone, so it is super easy to contact my relatives. But. No charm.

I can already read your outrageous minds: "C'mon, girl, so go to the library and eat your "paper" long food or write a long letter on 4 pages to your loved ones, no one stops you, just have some charm in your daily life". Sure, I could do that. And I was for sure doing so in my previous life in XIX century (:D). Now, I am re-born in XXI century, and you know, I just have a nostalgy, I miss that charm, I miss the libraries and long letters, and the cinemas etc.

Lemme have the nostalgy. Maybe, this is the charm I and we all deserve in XXI century. This is the charm of our present time.

Okay, jokes aside. The only charm we deserve and can have is to enjoy our imagination and illusions, like I have in this topic.

CELLPHONE

• I chose cellphone because it has many purposes.

• You can use cellphone in communicating others.

• In your studying, in your assignments if you need to search you may use cellphone.

• You can watch movies and you can downloads all your wants but remember the internet tips.

• You can make an power point. If you don't have laptop, you may use cellphone. Then after making your power point you can transfer it in a flashdrive. To copy it in the laptop for your power point presentation

• Cellphones can also use in editing such as videos, pictures, etc.

• May you use cellphones in taking a picture not only in taking a pictures it can also use in shooting if you don't have DSLR, GO PRO or other technology may use in making a movie.

• But remember, cellphone has disadvantages. Users get addicted especially online games. Students may fail in their subjects, get a low grades because they are addicted in playing online games. Most of us especially students who addicted in their gadgets, when they wake up the first thing they do is to check their social media accounts and texting their girlfriends/boyfriends. We are becoming lazy interms house hold task, reviewing our lessons, making our assignments. And because of too much addiction in using our cellphone or gadgets, we can't avoid using of cellphones.

• Using cellphones or having a cellphones have so many advantages but I will not mention it anymore.
